**2026 Iowa Football Season Thread**

[Monster]

Stop engaging with L. Wade you fucking morons.

We should join into a buddy system to support each other.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

This statement exposes your personal mindset and that you can't seem to understand other people may operate with an entirely different set of guiding principles than you. Some people take pride in what they do, regardless of financial compensation packages. They will continue to work as hard as possible because other people depend on those outcomes for job security as well.

This wasn’t my point. Of course kirk is a competitor, and takes pride in what he does. Most competitive people do.

but he is stubborn and is going to follow HIS way of doing things. It is his right to do that, our right to complain about it. He’s not infallible and there’s been several decisions the past several years that are perfectly ok to criticize and give you more insight into his mindset.

his contract and influence give him the ability to do this. That’s just the way it is.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Almost sounds like someone who was coddled and handed everything and never had to be accountable for anything and developed an underlying entitlement that he projects onto everyone else.

It never stops.

 

[Monster]

Lol. Still can't say it.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

He's been like this ever since his boyfriend Garta was fired. He hasn't been able to recover from it. Then to make matters worse his other boyfriend Darian Devries went to Indiana instead of Iowa which sent him into a spiral. Not sure if he has the ability to ever come out of it.

kirk refused to fire his son and then tried to bring down everyone that agreed with the decision to go over his head.

He’s going to stay too long.

 

[Natty Bumppo]

I've highlighted the key word here.

Look, Hank might suck. I'm all for giving younger guys a shot. But we're doing what we always do - making a harsh assessment based on a very limited set of data and completely dismissing the knowledge and expertise of the coaching staff. Now, I know what the next points are going to be....Kirk sucks at assessing quarterbacks. Maybe so. But that doesn't necessarily mean you or Gus or the Dad is better at assessing quarterbacks. None of y'all are at practice. That's a significant data set you aren't seeing. Plus, Lester is there and we should all give him the benefit of the doubt.

Anyway, who cares. It's game week and I have a halfie already.

This.

The older (and hopefully wiser) I grow, the more I find my opinions align with HaMo.

I wanted Kirk gone when he would get rid of his faggot son. Beth came in and did what he couldn’t do. I hope he has a couple more good seasons and leave with the program in good shape…unlike Fry. Although another Fry situation is entirely possible.

Shawnee talking someone else off of a sports ledge is fucking great.

Carry on.

I’m retarded but not Wade retarded.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Lol. Still can't say it.

say what? I love you to my parents?

[L. Wade Childress]

I see, you’re going to disagree with me despite publicly available evidence to the contrary

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Sounds kind of cultish tbh

 

[BuffettHawk]

I see, you’re going to disagree with me despite publicly available evidence to the contrary

Prove it.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Prove it.

I’ll allow Monster to play dumb. Not you.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Everything we've been shown suggests Hank is not good. Give reps to the guys who still have a chance to possibly be good.

We've been shown 34 Iowa snaps in a game that counts

 

[BuffettHawk]

I’ll allow Monster to play dumb. Not you.

Your assertion is that Kirk and/or Mary Ferentz forced a Board of Regent to resign, is that correct?

 

[Gushawk]

I too would like to know more about these details.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I recommend using the search function. Also, keep up. I’m getting too old to carry you fuckers.

Now excuse me while I go finish my landscaping before my neighbors get home.

Tee time, lads!

 

[Monster]

Yes, everyone. Wade is the one that is super smart and super clear and it's all of you who are too stupid to understand him.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Yes, everyone. Wade is the one that is super smart and super clear and it's all of you who are too stupid to understand him.

i’m ready for a new coach. That is all. I like fresh starts. You don’t have to agree.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Wade is the right amount of intelligence for halo search function

 

[shoot-the-three]

i’m ready for a new coach. That is all. I like fresh starts. You don’t have to agree.

That is why he was so excited about McCollum, new coach and a fresh start.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

That is why he was so excited about McCollum, new coach and a fresh start.

I WAS excited about McCollum. I just had some concerns , which haven’t changed. But he won games, so we get over it.

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

But he won games, so we get over it.

 

[Kerky]

I don't blame you. Breaking through walls can be scary.

 

[CleteyColgate]

I WAS excited about McCollum. I just had some concerns , which haven’t changed. But he won games, so we get over it.

"I hate that guy, but I'll live since the bastard went to the Elite 8"

 

[Kerky]

It never stops.

If you are referring to your incessant incoherent rambling, for once you are correct.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Wade talks in circles and never articulates exactly what he means, but everyone else needs the search function.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I just had some concerns , which haven’t changed.

What concerns

 

[L. Wade Childress]

 

[Monster]

I WAS excited about McCollum. I just had some concerns , which haven’t changed. But he won games, so we get over it.

We? Or you?

See? You were soooooo close.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

You think I’m the only person with those concerns?

more proof that you don’t actually read anyone elses opinion. Not that it matters.

 

[Gushawk]

Kirk is still winning games too.

in fact, at a rate well above your favourite AD’s contractual definition of success for him.

 

[Monster]

You think I’m the on notly person with those concerns?

more proof that you don’t actually read anyone elses opinion. Not that it matters.

But it was your statement to begin with. We were talking about you. Why not just say you were wrong. Can you say it?

 

[CleteyColgate]

Depth chart is out, I hear. Is there a clear signal at QB, like Doug said?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

 

[Gushawk]

You tell us, pal.

 

[Mitchandrsn]

Depth chart is out, I hear. Is there a clear signal at QB, like Doug said?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Vitti must be playing well right away

 

[L. Wade Childress]

But it was your statement to begin with. We were talking about you. Why not just say you were wrong. Can you say it?

I’m sorry, what are you talking about? Wrong about what? I stated my opinion. You don’t have to agree with it.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I thought we got like the best kicker from the portal?
